ABSTRACT
Introduction: Madelung deformity is due to a growth disturbance of distal radius physis. It can cause pain and loss of function.
Objectives: to review the current status of this disease and the results of a series of
patients who received surgical treatment.
Methods: this is a case series of patients (12 patients) collected from 2005 to 2012,
which were treated in hand surgery consultation. Radio osteotomy plate or guardian
ulna osteotomy (shortening and angular correction) and distal resection of the ulna
(Darrach) were the surgical procedures used. Mobility variables, radiology, and
surgery satisfaction were studied. Ulnar inclination and the lunate tilt radiological data
were analyzed; also a qualitative analysis of the correction of the ulna was conducted.
Results: in the 8 patients operated (11 wrists: 9 angle correction by osteotomy of the radius, and 2 with tutor), the aesthetic results were good. In terms of function, all mobility parameters improved. In the 7 cases of wrist where Darrach was performed,
the dorsal aspect of the wrist improved. After a short time, no ulnar translation of the carpus was observed. The radiographic appearance markedly improved: the ulnar
inclination changed from preoperative 37º to postoperative 28º and the lunate fossa angle changed from 55° to 36°, respectively.
Conclusions: the smallness of the series and the short follow-up time is a limitation
of this study, although it is shown that with the right combination of some surgical techniques aesthetic and functional improvements in Madelung deformity can be
achieved.
